Why do we have to resort to killing if confronted by a spouse who is having an affair?
It is really heartbreaking for a spouse finding the partner having an affair, especially if you are working in a foreign country, simply to have a better financial life for the family.
There are many broken families in the Philippines because either one of the spouses finds another mate. Loneliness and exposure to temptation could be the cause of the affair, if you are alone, that is, without God in your midst. Our hearts should be clean to avoid succumbing to temptation. Be guided by this:
Matthew 15:19-20
19 "For out of the heart comes evil thoughts, murder
adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false
testimony,slander.
20 These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating
with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.'"
But why resort to killing, God allows separation if one partner commits adultery or cuncubinage.

MANILA, Philippines – A couple were found dead inside their house in Quezon City Sunday morning, with the police saying the woman probably killed her husband and then took her life.
Senior Police Officer 2 Jerry Abad of the Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit identified the victims as Maximo Arafiles and his wife, Merlinda. Both were 47 years old.
Arafiles was a barangay tanod (watchman) while Merlinda, who worked in Canada, was in the country on vacation.
The police said the bodies were discovered by the couple’s 14-year-old daughter in their house on Bayanihan Street, Barangay Commonwealth, at around 8 a.m. yesterday.
Arafiles was found sprawled on the bed in the master bedroom with a gunshot wound in the back. Beside him was his wife’s pillow and underneath it was his .38 cal. revolver.
Merlinda, on the other hand, was found in the living room with a knife beside her. Her wrists had been slashed.
Abad said that based on their initial investigation, Merlinda probably shot her husband and then killed herself due to rumors that Arafiles was having an affair
